My Year in Review

Howdy, folks! This post is brought to you from…my brother’s room, where I’m currently staying. 😝 My aunt from Canada is here this week and she has my room, so I’m bunking with the bro. Hopefully I’ll still be around after I try to surface from ham radio magazines, dirty jeans and little pieces of paper. (WHY ARE THERE LITTLE PIECES OF PAPER ALL OVER HIS ROOM?)

Anyway, on to the post.

This review has been rewritten SO many times, y’all – I first was going to write a month-by-month review, but I was halfway through the year and about 1,000 words in when I thought, oh dear. Seriously, you guys don’t want to read that long of a review, do you? THE ANSWER IS NO. Anyway, here’s a mini-review.

In surmise, 2018 was one of the hardest years I’ve ever been through, but also one of the best. I learned so much – about God, about how precious family is, about convictions, about farming, working hard, music…well, I just learned in general.

Most of the pictures go with the statements below, but some of them don’t, so just…beware. XD The highlights – and lowlights – of my year:

Allison and I exchanged 20 letters and 8,500 emails. EIGHT THOUSAND, FIVE HUNDRED EMAILS. I’m amazed our email servers didn’t die. That’s more than triple the amount of emails we exchanged in 2017!

*wipes brow* Wow, that was a ton of pictures. Anyway.

Every year is a good year. They all have their ups and downs, and I think that as you get older, the graph gets bigger – the ups are higher and the downs lower. And you learn more. I definitely learned a lot from this year, and even though hard and sad things happened, I’ll always remember it as a good year. But a crazy one.
